├───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ * N │ DON'T SKIP OVER PERFORATIONS │

└───────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Choose the "N" option when the file already contains
formatting characters, e.g. when the file has been printed
back to a diskette file from a word processor.
5x : determines the character set where x can be:
┌───────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 5x │ Character Set │

└───────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The "E" option selects all characters from the 244 extended
character set. Both Epson and IBM Printers can use this
option.
The "S" option prints all characters from the printers
standard character set. This is useful if the file contains
no extended characters but other PC-Font options are
desired.
6x : defines an alternate escape character which will be
treated as ASCII 27. This can be used to change printer
options within a file, (covered in the Advanced Operations
Section).
┌───────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 6x │ Alternate Escape Character (ASCII 27) │
├───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ x │ x = any character except the numbers 1-5. (The │
│ │ ^ is recommended.) The default is the stan- │
│ │ dard escape character, ASCII 27. │
└───────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Note : * indicates the default value of each option.
